Avoiding Redundant Questions In New Quizzes' Question Bank

[Canvastic]

Howdy, phenomenal educators!

For a teacher who has question banks for different topic areas, how does a teacher make sure that Canvas does not give redundant questions? What to do to avoid pulling the same question multiple times?

Thanks!

I have not noticed this issue in the past, but it happened this semester. I have a bank of 8 questions and the quiz is supposed to pull 3 for each student. Most students are getting 3 different questions, but some students are getting 2 different questions, with the 3rd question being a duplicate of one of the others. How can we avoid that and make sure that 3 different questions are getting pulled from the questions bank?

Hello,

Canvas doesn't really have a way to screen questions to make sure it is not pulling duplicates from multiple question banks or the same bank linked more than once. As a result we recommend linking a bank to a quiz only once and making sure that there is as little overlap when making a quiz with multiple question banks as possible. I hope this helps.
